Dead Space 2 is less than a week away, so you're no doubt imagining the horrors that await Isaac Clarke on the Sprawl, the space station where developer Visceral Games' latest hell is unleashed. Well, before you start daydreaming about how you're going to dismember the hellish Necromorphs, why don't you figure out what you're going to wear?

Dead Space 2 packs a number of nifty suits for you to deck Isaac out in, and we just so happen to have a number of them here for you to peruse. Take a look so you can get an idea of which one you'll want to save up for and buy from the in-game store -- once you find the schematic that unlocks it.

Inventory Slots: 10 Armor: 5 percent Bonus: None This is your most basic suit for Isaac. Start the game for the first time, and this is the first suit you'll don. It'll keep you alive and give you some protection, but it's nothing special.

Inventory Slots: 15 Armor: 15 percent Bonus: One less turn needed to hack consoles Head's up -- this is only available if you played Dead Space Ignition, but it's cool enough that I wanted to toss it in this feature. Basically, this is the most laid-back Isaac outfit I've ever seen. He's basically in a T-shirt and jacket, and the back of his head is exposed as he has a welding-like mask on. It's cool on a visual level, and it gets you through the hacks faster.

Inventory Slots: 20 Armor: 15 percent Bonus: Store items discounted 10 percent The Vintage Suit looks a lot like the old SUBA suits or Big Daddy outfits from BioShock. There's a big old tank on your back, and the whole thing has a hefty, weighty look to it. However, it doesn't make Isaac any slower.

Inventory Slots: 15 Armor: 10 percent Bonus: Pulse Rifle receives a 5-percent bonus to damage In terms of visuals, the Security Suit is the first one that really stuck out for me. Its dark blue is accented by a security badge on Isaac's arm that really makes it look sharper and more defined than the base suit and the Vintage suit.

Inventory Slots: 25 Armor: 20 percent Bonus: Stasis recharge time is decreased by 50 percent This is the creme de la creme -- at least for your first playthrough (hint-hint). Aside from having the best stats, the Advanced Suit is also the most streamlined outfit for Mr. Clarke. It's form-fitting, has a unique color scheme and I dig the futuristic feel of it.
